2026 Yokohama Bay Quarter Christmas Illuminations: A Full-Day Enjoyment Course

Spend a day when the 3rd-floor main plaza of Yokohama Bay Quarter (横浜ベイクォーター), the seaside shopping mall by the east exit of Yokohama Station, is wrapped in Christmas lights. It typically runs from early November to December 25 (in 2025 it ran November 1 to December 25); the 2026-27 season schedule has not yet been announced, so please check the official website before you go. Viewing is free. In the early afternoon, see the latest cars and racing cars up close at the free-admission Nissan Global Headquarters Gallery, then take a leisurely walk through waterside Portside Park before heading to Bay Quarter in the evening. In this open plaza that feels like a ship's deck, you can enjoy the Christmas lights together with harbor views. The sea breeze is cold, so dress warmly.
